Thanks Keith, you are correct .I finally found a picture of the inside of a 41 Coupe and the seat is identical to the one I have in the photos.
-
The hardware on this seat is different from my 39 . I knew the pleats went all the way across on the 39 and has no buttons. Im guessing 38 or 40 maybe someone can confirm this. Its for sale and I was going to buy it untill I seen it wasnt a 39.

If you have a wheel you can have it recast. Don Eash in N. C. did mine and did a beautiful job.
-
I think Dragon Red is the color . I will check to see if my friend still has the formula , we painted his Coupe that color.
-
Can anyone identify this seat. I was told it was from a 39 Coupe but I dont think so.
-
The later cranks have larger rod journals ,never done this on a V12 but I do know you run into the same problem on the V8s.
-
Sounds like 46-48 to me. The bore should measure 2 7/8. There are three humps in the block along the oil pan rail where the core plugs are located. The center one will be larger than the other two on the later V12 blocks.

Am in need of the seals for the rear swing out windows for the 39 Zephyr Fordor. Anyone know of a source ?
-
I put just enough to wet the leather piston cups
-
3 in 1 machine oil or Marvel Mystery Oil
-
Need the standard diameter for the V12 cam bearing journals.

When you start the reassembly of the synchro clutch with the new teflon pads stick the sun gear through both halves of the synchro clutch so the splines will be in alignment . Once you get those springs and pads in there you wont be able to turn it to align it.
-
Anyone know how far the later V12 blocks can be bored ?
-
I ve wondered the same thing my self .Could use the smaller early V12 rods and offset grind the later larger journal crank,dont know how much could be gained,may not be worth the expense .Will also call for a special set of pistons .

I have installed the drain tube in a V12. If you look at the rear of the engine with the oil pump idler gear cover removed you will see a hole in there. I installed a section of brake tubing that fit inside the hole and flared the end to keep it from coming through. You will need to put a 90 degree bend to angle it to the oil pan and its long enough to almost reach the pickup screen. To secure it I made a tab and soldered it to the tube and secured it under the oil pump hold down bolt. I did this modification and Im not sure it it really does any good but it surely hasnt done any harm.

Anyone know where I can find the correct color for my 39 Zephyr dash ?
-
Got the front end back on my Zephyr and the fenders and grill fitting like they should. Doing some finish welding on the body today then all the hard work will be done on the body. Looking for a good pan that goes under the radiator just in case anyone out there has one.
-
My 39 Zephyr is 10 spline,not same as Ford.
-
If you are refering to the tag on the firewall, that isnt the VIN number. Its a body number,the VIN is stamped on the frame rail close to the front cross member. But to answer your question, I know of no source for a replacement.
-
I agree, Paul Bradley is the man. I bought and installed these from him for my 39 Coupe.

What's the status of these parts?
Didn't want to call being that this was posted back in January.
Hi, These parts have been sold.

Reaching out for an outline tracing of a Lincoln intake manifold, sold mine too soon to get a pattern for masking my block for painting. Block is a 1948, I will pay for postage and your time.

Couldnt you do the same with a intake gasket
-
You are correct. Also the Lincoln housing will have a larger eye for the spring shackle bushing.

I had the same thing happen to me last year. Turned out to be a new condenser went bad .

I talked to him and we didn't have a formula. The underside of the cowl vent lid still had a good sample of what Dragon Red looked like so we had the paint supplier to match using the sample.
